 Hi

 This is probably a dumb question, but can someone please tell me where
 to find info/examples on (or explain how to) increasing the
 system/system spacing.

 I have a piece with 3 systems which looks bunched on the page - I'd
 like to separate them a little more (the piece is part of a book, set
 in a bookpart).

 Any pointers would be great (I've been scrolling through the manuals
 all afternoon and can't seem to find something that works...)

Have you used the manuals matching your version of LilyPond?  The ways
of specifying spacing have changed in recent LilyPond versions, so it is
important to consult a manual with a version matching your LilyPond
program.

If you can't seem to find something that works in the manuals, it may
very well be that _indeed_ it does not work because of a version
mismatch of your information.

Try Notation Reference

a search for system-system will help, maybe! :)

 Well, yes.  The Reply-To header is set so that replies go to the

 This is only true if you enable the send me multiple copies in
 your mailing list preferences.  I recommend turning that off so
 that you only get one copy of each email.

I think that Marc's question was about getting *all traffic* from
lilypond-user, not about receiving multiple copies of each email.
@Marc: yes, that's how this mailing list is supposed to work (i.e.
everyone gets all emails).  You may want to set up email filtering or,
if you plan to be an active user, create a separate email address for
LilyPond email.

hope this helps,
Janek

A pointer: what you need is described somewhere in Chapter 4 of
Notation Reference
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/spacing-issues),
i don't remember where exactly).

Be sure to use Lilypond version matching the documentation, as David
already said.

hth,

 Hi

 This is probably a dumb question, but can someone please tell me where to 
 find info/examples on (or explain how to) increasing the system/system 
 spacing.

Suppose we have this score:

\score { \new Staff \repeat unfold 100 b1 }

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size a5)
}



And you want systems to be more spaced out by a minimum amount of 20
staff-spaces. Add this to the paper block:

system-system-spacing = #'(
 (basic-distance . 20)
 )

More complex settings are possible, check out the documentation for
vertical flexible paper variables. This is an example:

system-system-spacing = #'((stretchability . 3)
 (basic-distance . 20)
 (minimum-distance . 10)
 (padding . 5))

This part of our documentation is correct and complete, but I agree in
that more examples would be very welcome.

Re: System/System spacing

2012-10-13 Thread Adrian Oehm
Hi all

Thanks for your replies - they all pointed me in the right direction.

After a nice hot shower I realised part of my issue was the setting of 
ragged-bottom = ##t in the \paper block of the \book.

What I didn't realise then (but have worked out now :-) ) is that I can put a 
\paper block into each \bookpart and then control the system-system spacing 
basic-distance there...  And it works.

Thanks again

Adrian

Re: midi and repeated notes

 When presented with a note off and a note on at the same time with

I think the sequencer should repeat the note.  There is some argument about
how to interpret overlapping unisons in a midi file, but if the note-off
comes before the note-on it should certainly repeat.

LilyPond version 2.14 had some problems in this area, but I think they are
now solved : http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1647

Possibly the discussion there, and related issue 1648, might inspire you to
find a solution?
